I say..buy the 950, then order a replacement faceplace from AT when they release their version of it--shouldn't run more than 50 bucks and you have the best of both worlds!

couldnt agree more with Kenty. think about it this way... the generous gift (PCA) is about $50. thats for the faceplate... if they ever offer. l

AT P2000 price:

Price seems a bit steep for a aluminum faceplate compared to 899.00 for the 950.Maybe the AT model will have a differant remote(touch screen?).In my opinion a price differential like that would warrant something more than a differant faceplate.But remember that Outlaw has stated that 899.00 is a intro price on the 950 ,keeps the door open for a price increase down the road,maybe about the time Atlantic releases the P2000(hmm!!!).
I wonder how soon we can expect "Outlaw Speakers" and Maybe a "Atlantic Technology Receiver"

You have to remember, Outlaw Audio sells only direct via the Internet. per their web site, Atlantic Technology sells only via the traditional retail channel. You can be sure that there will be several more hands being held out for their share of the pie of the A.T. P2000.

You can say that again! For that much money, I won't have any problem learning to love the looks of the 950

It just further proves the value you get with outlaw.

I guess I'm really confused as to how Outlaw and Atlantic Technology are related since the President of AT is one of the principals behind Outlaw. Seems like a conflict of interest to me. Do all of the Outlaws have day jobs? Maybe if they were devoted full time, the 950 would have been released by now.

Don't be so hard on them. If I were starting my own company with some friends, I would like to keep my day job until things were very solid. Paying (and benefits) for even 5 people, who probably were making good money at their old jobs, is tough for a young company. And remember, they started out with only a 5-channel amp. Not enough volume there to pay everyone I'm sure.

Also, they are basically managers. They decide what the want to sell. They hire other teams to design the unit to Outlaw's specs/feature list and outsource the manufacturing. If they are doing they jobs, they don't need to be burning the mightnight oil to get the 950 to market. They are making a few calls a day to push those who are working for them.

That's my take anyway.
